This position is materially imbalanced. White has queen and pawn
for rook and bishop. But the problem is the white king! He's in deep
trouble concerning the threat 1.-Be5 2.Q~~ Rh8 mate. At the moment
he suffers the consequences of a very optimistic walk right into
enemy territory. Still he can be the hero of the day!
Logic and poetry, hand in hand...
Test: This is a win for white. The solution is further down.
Warning: This one might be difficult for your program...
